Back in May of 2010 we quietly launched our very first every WILK Friday BeerBuzz show. I remember my emotions for that show being somewhere between excitement and complete fear. Jump ahead 2 years later, and I can’t believe we’re celebrating our 2nd Year Anniversary. Last year for our 1-year anniversary, we invited Chris Wilson from Weyerbacher Brewing up to celebrate our anniversary with us. Chris brought up some Weyerbacher 16 and our pal Theresa Duffy brought even more great Weyerbacher beer to celebrate at our Krugel’s tasting party. Since everyone had such a great time, we thought why not make it a tradition, and do it all again w/Weyerbacher….and of course there’s a BIG PARTY TONIGHT!
With Chris out in San Diego for the Craft Brewers Conference, we were lucky enough to get Bobby Clark to join us and bring up a really special beer. This beer is so new, it doesn’t even have a name so we’re simply calling it Weyerbacher Sour Black. This new brew is a black Belgian-style sour that’s been aging for close to a year in the former Rapture Pinot Noir barrels and the flavor is amazing. Sour Black has a rich color and a bold sour flavor. You can really taste the influence the wine barrels had on it with a vinous background, a little oak and a wonderful sour flavor. I’ll be excited to see this one released and can’t wait to hear the name.
It was also cool to talk to Bobby about the development & use of the new Weyerbacher logo & the brewery expansion. (We brought you a peek at the new logo back in Feb)

My thanks to Bobby Clark for making the ride up to be on our show AND to stay for tonight’s special Weyerbacher tasting event
Remember to come out tonight (May 4th) from 5-7PM @ Krugel’s Georgetown Deli, next to the Big Cow on Rt 309 in Wilkes-Barre Twp. to celebrate the 2-Year Anniversary of the Friday BeerBuzz on WILK. We’ll have Bobby Clark from Weyerbacher on hand with a sampling of their great brews and the entire WILK Friday BeerBuzz crew will be there to talk beer. This event is open to all (must be 21 or older to sample beer) so be sure to bring a friend and stop by!
Thanks

Another great show. My wife and I love Weyerbacher and you are so lucky to get to try that new Sour Black beer. It sounded amazing. Ryan W
ReplyDeleteI really liked Rapture a lot. This new beer sounds amazing. I'll see you guys at Georgetown!
ReplyDeleteEric
Double Simcoe is my favorite beer. Cheers to Bobby! I'll be @ Krugels too!
ReplyDeleteMarcus
So many good beers from Weyerbacher and when the 'Belgian Sour Black' is released this summer (and gets it's official name!) it'll be another hit!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Bobby Clarke from Weyerbacher for being on the show, thanks to Bill fromMyBeerBuzz.com for bringing it altogether, and thanks to you for listening!
Hope we'll see you at Krugel's tonight, 5pm, as we launch Year # 3 of THE WILK FRIDAY BEER BUZZ!!!
Best,
John

I've always loved Weyerbacher but sometimes their beer is hard to get in NEPA. I've done much better lately, but I still don't always see enough of it. My favorite is Harvest Ale.
ReplyDeleteJim
I seriously thought you were going to call Chris Wilson! That would have been hilarious!
ReplyDeleteJJ
How can you not love a beer called Blithering Idiot. I'll have one and probably be one tonight. Cheers buzzers. Another great show.
ReplyDeleteSteve
I really applaud you guys for doing a sour on the show. So many people think because of the name they are not a good beer when in fact they are great! Your show has a really nice balance of featuring drinkable main-stream craft beers for people just experiencing good beers for the first time and amazing first-off specialty beers like today's sour for the craft beer experienced people. Nice job once again and I'll be sure to stop up and say hi tonight.

AC/DC Back In Black! Bosco Rocks!
ReplyDeleteMy world changed with Weyerbacher Double Simcoe. I never liked hoppy beer until I tasted that. Now it is my favorite so I love hearing them on the show. Cheers Bobby!
ReplyDeleteJustin
If you haven't visited Weyerbacher you should. It's a really fun brewery and the beers on tap are always great!
ReplyDeleteTJ
I agree TJ. I still consider Weyerbacher to be the most GENEROUS tasting room I've ever visited, and of course the build your own case is always fun as well. Thanks again to Bobby Clark for joining us today and for sticking around to help us celebrate our 2nd anniversary at Krugels Georgetown Deli tonight from 5-7. Come out and say hi and thank Bobby for pouring.
ReplyDeleteSee you all tonight! I love the show and missed out on the bus trip so I wanted to have a beer with you all. Ray
ReplyDeleteI learned about Weyebacher after you had Chris on the show with Pumpkin Ale. I now travel once a month to the brewery to buy a case (sometimes more but don't tell my wife). Excellent news that they are coming to Krugels tonight. I'll be there. Martin J (Taylor, PA)
ReplyDeleteI really like the new logo and cannot wait to try the new IPA.
ReplyDeletePaul
Last Chance sounds like a great name and a great cause. Cheers to Weyebacher for being socially responsible! Mark K
ReplyDeleteYou guys always start my weekend off right. I buy just about every beer you feature and yes I'll be visiting tonight to sample one I've always wanted to try, Blithering Idiot. I just wanted to thank you for making my weekend start right and for always recommending the best beers to buy. Cheers, Thom
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one to buy or try to buy every beer they feature. Nice!
ReplyDeleteTJ
Weyerbacher quietly makes some of the best beers out there. We are lucky to have them in our back yard and Bobby was a great spokesman. See you tonight. Rob
ReplyDeleteAnother great show and beer. You guys are the best! See U @ Georgetown. Sue
ReplyDeleteI always drink Double Simcoe and it's easier to find here in the Lehigh Valley. I have to tune into you guys on the web but I always listen to the show. Cheers from Bethlehem. Mark
ReplyDeleteCan we go to Krugels NOW PLEASE!?
ReplyDeleteJan
I agree. I need come Weyerbacher now too.
ReplyDeleteJesse
3 of my top 5 favorite beers are Weyerbacher. You guys turned me on to Imperial Pumpkin, in fact I hadn't even heard of Weyerbacher until your show. Cheers Bobby. See you all tonight. Martin
ReplyDeleteI love the video! The sound is hard to hear but the credits make me laugh every time. You deserve the associated association award =)
ReplyDeleteEric
Thank you everyone. Sometimes we do not overlay the show audio over the video so the sound is coming directly from our high-tech Flip camera....and thus a little faint. I of course love the credits too...and maybe we did make that last one up ;)
ReplyDeleteT-Minus 2-Hours so GET YOUR BUTTS TO KRUGEL'S GEORGETOWN DELI TONIGHT from 5-7PM and join us for a beer!
